Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Getting Divorced
tmz ^ | 6-30-2015

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are ending their 10 year marriage ... TMZ has learned. We're told the couple, whose anniversary was yesterday, will file for divorce. Although they will file for divorce, it won't be done immediately. They are working things out with a mediator and business managers, sources tell TMZ. The divorce will be filed when all of the property and custody issues are resolved. We're told the divorce is amicable and Ben and Jen will share joint custody of their 3 children, ranging in age from 3 to 9. The couple says, "After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding."

That couple always amuse me. He is kinda handsome and she is kinda pretty.

I have seen her on one of the commercials she does and she can smile and frown at the same time, strange face.

My easy lazy 100% speculation is he was fooling around. She said it has to stop. That she did not want a Hollyweird style open marriage. But he kept it up, now comes divorce. He gets to fork over 30-40 million and now gets to fool around to his hearts content

We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children...

...but we can't stand each other and are divorcing.

Such Hollywood gobbledygook, you know, the same people who profess with undying allegiance their pledge to love, peace, tolerance, and acceptance.

Pffft...

I never even knew they were married. I hate that when that happens!

And more than likely, you are correct!

Please God, be sure she lost my number.

Before Ben, her calls were incessant and all hours of the morning...

Good point. You may like this music video from the 90s that shows the sad transition from love to alienation with a divorce:

It’s just a footnote in family history in perpetuem..

Even the Daredevil didn’t see this one coming.

Of course, this is assuming I don’t end up on cutting room floor.

I am in the scene when Holly Hunter mistakenly attributes “absolute power corrupts absolutely” to Thomas Jefferson. See photographer to her left with chin hair.

A couple other scenes may not make it, depending on the take.

Soon to be nominated for best supporting extra in a drama.

But since they scanned me digitally, I may be in others I was not in.

No such thing as amicable divorce.

Not everyone winds up throwing crap at each other or becoming a story on the local news, but none are amicable.
